This page attempts to collect user experiences in running emulated OLPC-XO images (or sugar-jhbuild environments) on various host Operating Systems with various emulation packages. It is intended to serve as a guide for those looking to set up their own Development Environment. |

*VMWare Fusion beats Parallels for running Linux on your Mac, hands down |
|||
** I have used Parallels for about two years to do Linux/Sugar development, and I could smack myself that I didn't try VMWare earlier. The final straw was that I would have had to pay for an upgrade to support Fedora 9 after they promising for several months it would be supported. On VMWare, even the officially "unsupported" versions work because the installer simply offers to compile the necessary drivers, which worked flawlessly for me.

*Is F7 better than Ubuntu for sugar-jhbuild? If so, should the Mac Parallels recommendation for core development be F7 rather than Ubuntu, despite the latter having a track record in [[/Mac]]? [[User:MitchellNCharity|MitchellNCharity]] 10:33, 20 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
**Yes, you will have less problems with Fedora 7, once you get it working in Parallels (which is harder than Ubuntu I think). I am running F7 because I need to be able to build RPMs. [[User:Bert|Bert]] 08:33, 25 September 2007 (EDT) |
